The Winter Sleeping Bag I Love, and Comforts for Camp: New Gear for the Season 

Nice score! Yeah I wouldn't use this bag in the summer, but it's a nice fall to spring bag. But yeah, so comfy!

heyo! Excellent work there.

@@BackpackingTV if you have a small cushion, it helps soften the stool.

😂 🤣 😂

Finally

huh, that sounds interesting!

this is a great point!

whoa, thanks! And two Terraframes? haha that's fun!

so glad to hear that! Cheers!

haha, you're welcome!

you're welcome! I hope you enjoy it! Yosemite would be a perfect place for the new meals.

thank you so much! Yeah give em a try! They were super delicious.

haha thanks! that was fun.

Thank you Wayne!

well thank you! I have recently acquired a new camera and lens setup. So that's hopefully why it looks better! And yeah, excited about the intro change, you weren't the only one who wasn't a big fan. Cheers friend!

Yeah they make life way more comfortable! Are you using the Big Agnes chair with the full back? I have the one that's more like a stool and I don't love it.

@@BackpackingTV I have the Skyline UL version in Yellow. But I do use the camp chair with full back for car camping:)

You're welcome!

Thanks David, yes I've gotten this request before and I usually just forget. Thanks for the reminder!

You're welcome!

They are the Keb Agile Trousers, and they're great! Yes, this is Arizona just outside of Flagstaff. Enjoy la comida!

This is the regular version. I really like this tent but not sure how much snow load it could handle. I think you could do it, just would have to be active with cleaning and clearing if it was snowing heavily.

Not a dumb question at all. It's kind of my own term, not necessarily an industry standard. But I'd call an expedition style bag one that would be good for say, crossing Antartica or climbing Everest, some extreme scenario that requires next level gear. While the Parsec is a winter bag, it's not going to be warm enough for those really cold camping, where one might need something like a -20f bag. I haven't used WM but I do hear they are simply the best. I hope to use one in the near future!

@@BackpackingTV thanks for the feedback! Definitely no expeditions for me! I did see another channel mention that WM bags have slightly better construction but this bag weighs significantly less and is an exceptional bag. But dang is $500+ hard to justify unless I’m going to use it 20+ nights a year. Thanks for the awesome channel!

@@BackpackingTV 29 years ago I discovered Western Mountaineering at a shop in Bishop, CA. I needed a bag for a quick up and back on Whitney from the Portal. That was back when you didn't need a permit for a "day" hike. I had a fanny pack stuffed with my WM bag, wool sweater, Pemmican bar (yuck), a baggie of trail mix, Potable Aqua, and a 1L water bottle that I carried in my hand. That WM bag has been all over the world, two bike trips across the U.S., and down the Green River four times. It is now finally retired to my summer only bag. Replaced by two new WM bags, a 10deg and 20deg. A true story, I purchased a Marmot model rated to 20 on sale, super sale at REI, it was rated to 20 deg. I spent one frigid night in the desert where I had to get up and pack out at 4am because the Marmot with my regular tent couldn't handle it. Like dangerous. When I returned the Marmot bag to REI, I brought along my 26 year old, at the time, WM bag and threw them both on the floor for the REI clerk to see. My old WM bag lofted more than the brand new Marmot. They returned my money. Then I went straight to Adventure-16 and bought my new WM bag.

haha, I am truly tempted!

@@BackpackingTV they are occasionally discounted on Amazon. I don't think you'll regret the purchase!

For sure! If you put a foam pad underneath the inflatable mattress it will add about 2r, so you should be effectively over 5 with that system. Save that money!

@@BackpackingTV Thanks, that's exactly what I was hoping for.

they're legit too!

help me understand what the issue is.

@@BackpackingTV Just virtue signaling, probably no point in engaging with him.
